Charleroi’s fifth street place
MVI accepted a bid from energy Independent Solutions, LLC to install a 24.999WDC rooftop solar array, paving the way for more energy efficient units and lowered utility costs. The projected cost savings for the 25-year lifespan of the system is $129,000. Grant funding for the project comes from the Scott Foundation Inc, West Penn Energy Fund, and the Washington Financial Charitable Foundation.
Clairton Inn Apartments
Allegheny County Economic Development (ACED) has provided $180,000 for a rooftop solar system on the Clairton Inn Apartments. MVI will release bidding for the project in the coming months and will be able to reinvest funds from both of these projects to continue operating affordable housing and other programming across the Mon Valley.
